Find value of x and y
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 17, y = 34
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right use trig ratios to find x and y
note exact values sin30° = , tan30° =
sin30° = =
multiply both sides by y
y sin30° = 17 ( divide both sides by sin30° )
y = = 34
tan30° = =
multiply both sides by x
x tan30° = 17 ( divide both sides by tan30° )
x = = 17

We know for the problem that the performer earned $120 at a performance where 8 people attend. We also know that he u<span>ses 43% of the money earned to pay the costs involved in putting on each performance, so we need to find the 43% of $120. To do that, we are going to divide 43% by 100%, and then multiply it by $120:
</span>
Now we know that the performer uses $51.6 of $120 to pay the costs involved in putting on each performance. The only thing left to find his profits is subtract $51.6 from $120:
We can conclude that the performer makes a profit of $68.4 when 8 people attend his performance.
